NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Richmond International Raceway: entry list
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Richmond (Va.) International Speedway this weekend to go both short track racing and night racing with Saturday night’s running of the Toyota Owners 400. It’s the third short track race of the season and the second-straight, following last weekend’s rain-delayed race at Bristol (Ten.) Motor Speedway.
There are 45 drivers on the entry list for the Richmond race, included reigning Xfinity Series champion Chase Elliott, set to make his second-career Cup start Saturday night, that is if he can qualify his way in.
Qualifying for the Toyota Owners 400 is scheduled for 5:45 p.m. ET Friday, with the race scheduled to take the green flag shortly after 7 p.m. ET Saturday.
Here’s a look at the entry list for Saturday night’s race:
